“this iPhone will self-destruct in 5 seconds…”

seriously, these guys shorted out the battery, and, well, thats what Li-ion does when its not happy. way a go seeing $500 go up in smoke. i’m sure they’ll get another one…can’t stop a true hacker with anything.

I doubt Apple would cover that under warranty… I just hope the guy wasn’t stupid enough to leave the battery in while he hacking with it. Hopefully the software hack for it will be available soon.

I just wanna know what he did to make it explode.
I’d laugh if all he did was forget to remove the battery or something dumb like that.

And one more thing… BOOM!

That stinks… Oh well, there will be a software unlock soon enough.

I don’t think they cover stupidity…
Makes you want to buy a proper insurance for your toys, doesn’t it ? ;)
